Dimming the backlight (1 Viewer)

[Blair Lee]

I have a backlight set up behind my RPTV now, and I can definitely see how it would reduce eyestrain. I'm waiting for my Avia DVD to arrive so that I can properly calibrate it...but just how should I do that?

What sort of methods are there to dim the intensity of a fluorescent light? Is it a matter of masking off the bulb, covering the entire bulb with some kind of filter, or something else?

Try Cinemaquest. They have a dimming kit that includes filters.

Perfect! Thanks!
Until it arrives, I'm masking part of the light with some as-opaque-as-possible wrapping paper, and wrapping the bulb itself with a few layers of wax paper. It's made a significant difference, but I'm positive it's both not enough and not completely color neutral.

I use aluminum foil. It works great.
